you can also get swift springs - a few of the vendors carry swift springs here; I think FRSport still carries them, but you have to call (not on the site).
I got swift springs for my megans. stock is 6", depending on how much thread you have left, you can go 5" or maybe even 4". I would probably just go 5" to keep a decent amount of travel possibility.
Preloading the spring is usually not recommended unless used to corner balance a car (hence the invention of dual height adjustable) - you can search for more info on that; a little preloading doesn't hurt too much though.
Going with a shorter spring will give you less total travel, obviously - so you will have a greater chance of bottoming out.
Also, if you do decide to get Swift Springs or Eibach springs, you may want to consider getting a pair for the fronts as well - they feel totally different (as well as much lighter) than the ones that come w/ the Megans, might as well replace the entire set.
